Detail drawing view issue

[Jourmo]

Hi everyone,

I've been wondering how to change the position of the identifiers of detail drawing views using Inventor API. I know it could be done manually, but I need to get it automated.

I need to create two detail views in the same location, the identifiers appear always at top of the detail drawing callout, so when I create both details drawing views, the identifiers appear one above the other.

I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Warm regards,

Uriel.

So you could use some iLogic to set the views in the same place. The snippet would look like this. 

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").SetCenter(centerX, centerY)

If you wanted to automate the detail placement on the base view, you would need a common work point on every assembly that you can reference.

Hi Jourmo,

API questions (and to be honest a majority of the iLogic questions ) should be posted to the Inventor Customization forum.

There is a good chance that you can search that forum and find something specific to your question that already exists.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
